Figures live and die on support.  We've had other non-DAZ figures for Poser, but one person or a handful of volunteers isn't enough to give them the kind of support needed.  I think it's become obvious that you need an actual company - people whose jobs are to support and promote the figure.

And the names behind Hivewire have the credibility to pull this off. The figure will be great, and they have the business end of things down, too.

Agreed. Without a specific site committed to the base figure, there's less chance of success. Although, that alone won't guarantee success. Anyone here heard of Mariko? Fema Su? Apollo Maximus?

They'll have their own store at Hivewire3D. I'm sure they have every intention of making that store as big as DAZ3D or RMP. Otherwise, they'd be off getting full-time jobs elsewhere. There's probably some decent VC behind this. What seems like a small indie thing right now could be a mega-store in years to come. That's my prediction.
